- Log in to the booking system, and finding the relevant calendar and date, and click-and-drag on the slot starting at 10:00 such that the indicated time stretches from 10:00 to 12:00

- Check that the time and date is correct
- Choose repetition of the reservation if relevant
- Write a title for your reservation (optional)

- Write your project number (mandatory)
- Invoice: Choose “Regular projects (Bidrag)” or “Commissioned projects (Oppdrag)”
- Choose your organisation (NTNU, Sintef, other)
- Choose your department. If your department does not appear in the list, please tick “other (please specify in the neighbouring field)”, and type your department name in the box labelled “Department, other”
- If you want to use the instrument together with your colleague, you can add him/her as a participant or invitee (optional).
- Write information about your sample (optional, but recommended)
- Leave the “Instrument details” and “sample position” blank for now, since you don’t yet know these details at the time you first make the reservation. These fields can be filled in (recommended!) at the time you come to start your experiments (just be careful to do it before your booked time starts, otherwise you will not be able to edit your reservation any longer).
